Devuan daedalus, superGfxCtl & asusCtl for asus tuf a16 laptop

Hello devuan team,
thank you very much for the assistance provided in my previous post:
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=6798

I received the new laptop just a few days ago but only opened it recently (too busy). So far, I inspected the bios and already disabled secure boot and the internal amd sag/mux gpu system (after reading several linux forums, this setting breaks suspend & hibernate in the laptop as well as the stock wifi card, which i replaced right away with intel ax210). There's no windows in it. disk is empty.

According to further reading, I had to first set up the amd gpu to hybrid in windows so i could save battery power in linux later; once this was set, then you forget about it. however, there was no windows installed to do this task.

After investigating, I found these 2 utilities that may be helpful. They say they need systemd to operate, yet after inspection, you only need systemd to start the service as far as i can see; all other steps are normal steps when installing from source/git.

How can i start the service manually without using systemd?
Please view the links below, they show how to manually install in debian, however, only the systemd part is the tricky one.

you should be able to download windows 11 and use it for a few minutes where you need to "use windows" to adjust certain settings

also this article may provide some additional helpful information:

we needed ventoy assistance to get our older equipment to function and their latest version has the necessary bypasses:
